Renegade row your way to a desk-proof back

By Miranda Larbi

4 years ago

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: renegade row.

Renegade rows are a strength circuit favourite. Trainers often like to throw in a bout of renegade rows after getting you to do umpteen squats and lunges. But if you think that hitting the mat is a kind of break, think again. Renegade rows are a plank upgrade: you’ve got to hold your body weight still lifting one hand off the floor. Oh, and neither hand is balancing comfortably on the floor – you’re holding onto your dumbbells the entire time. The result is an exercise that tests you in every stage.
